2 Kings 2:1-11

And it came to pass, when the LORD
<03068>
would take up
<05927> (8687)
Elijah
<0452>
into heaven
<08064>
by a whirlwind
<05591>_,
that Elijah
<0452>
went
<03212> (8799)
with Elisha
<0477>
from Gilgal
<01537>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
Tarry
<03427> (8798)
here, I pray thee; for the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to Bethel
<01008>_.
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
[unto him, As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. So they went down
<03381> (8799)
to Bethel
<01008>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
that [were] at Bethel
<01008>
came forth
<03318> (8799)
to Elisha
<0477>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou that the LORD
<03068>
will take away
<03947> (8802)
thy master
<0113>
from thy head
<07218>
to day
<03117>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Yea, I know
<03045> (8804)
[it]; hold ye your peace
<02814> (8685)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Elisha
<0477>_,
tarry
<03427> (8798)
here, I pray thee; for the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to Jericho
<03405>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. So they came
<0935> (8799)
to Jericho
<03405>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
that [were] at Jericho
<03405>
came
<05066> (8799)
to Elisha
<0477>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou that the LORD
<03068>
will take away
<03947> (8802)
thy master
<0113>
from thy head
<07218>
to day
<03117>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Yea, I know
<03045> (8804)
[it]; hold ye your peace
<02814> (8685)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Tarry
<03427> (8798)_,
I pray thee, here; for the LORD
<03068>
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
me to Jordan
<03383>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. And they two
<08147>
went on
<03212> (8799)_.
And fifty
<02572>
men
<0376>
of the sons
<01121>
of the prophets
<05030>
went
<01980> (8804)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
to view
<05048>
afar off
<07350>_:
and they two
<08147>
stood
<05975> (8804)
by Jordan
<03383>_.
{to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against}
And Elijah
<0452>
took
<03947> (8799)
his mantle
<0155>_,
and wrapped [it] together
<01563> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the waters
<04325>_,
and they were divided
<02673> (8735)
hither and thither, so that they two
<08147>
went over
<05674> (8799)
on dry
<02724>
ground.
And it came to pass, when they were gone over
<05674> (8800)_,
that Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto Elisha
<0477>_,
Ask
<07592> (8798)
what I shall do
<06213> (8799)
for thee, before I be taken away
<03947> (8735)
from thee. And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I pray thee, let a double
<08147>
portion
<06310>
of thy spirit
<07307>
be upon me.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast asked
<07592> (8800)
a hard thing
<07185> (8689)_:
[nevertheless], if thou see
<07200> (8799)
me [when I am] taken
<03947> (8795)
from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so]. {Thou hast...: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking}
And it came to pass, as they still
<01980> (8800)
went on
<01980> (8802)_,
and talked
<01696> (8763)_,
that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot
<07393>
of fire
<0784>_,
and horses
<05483>
of fire
<0784>_,
and parted
<06504> (8686)
them both
<08147>
asunder
<0996>_;
and Elijah
<0452>
went up
<05927> (8799)
by a whirlwind
<05591>
into heaven
<08064>_.
